At the time I posted this article, there were some 22,000 votes not yet counted. Dan Sullivan was leading by around 8,200 of the counted votes, so in order to win, Mark Begich would have to win at least 15,500 of those uncounted votes. That appears to be very unlikely.

Not officially, but unofficially, we won. It’s only a matter of time.

Why would you want Manchin in the Republican Party? He voted with Obama on 80% of the votes. Screw him.

Sullivan supports open borders. Miller runs ads like Vitter or Sharron Angle.

Miller is endorsed by the rat party and illegally appointed the rat gubernatorial nominee his running mate.

His platform is leftist. Begich voters voted also for him.
